After huge public outcry about language within the Finances Reconciliation Invoice that might put hundreds of thousands of acres of public land on the public sale block, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah has withdrawn the proposal. It is a huge win for anglers, hunters, and anybody who likes to discover the unbelievable landscapes, woods, and waters of the West. However earlier than we begin doing a victory dance, remember that the battle to guard public land from growth is just not over, as Lee himself defined:
“I proceed to consider the federal authorities owns far an excessive amount of land—land it’s mismanaging and in lots of circumstances ruining for the following era. Beneath Democratic presidents, huge swaths of the West are being locked away from the individuals who stay there, with no significant sources,” he continued on X. “President Trump promised to place underutilized federal land to work for American households, and I stay up for serving to him obtain that in a manner that respects the legacy of our public lands and displays the values of the individuals who use them most.”
